Workshop II is a one-credit course but 2 actual hours and is taken in the Engineering Workshop. In general, the aim of these two workshop courses is to make students able to read the drawings properly and make them familiar with safety rules and basic workshop tools and machines.
first going to introduce you how does this workshop look like :)
In this workshop II course students are asked to do three projects: the Majmar, tongs and carpenters square.
When working with any project you have to follow the drawing and covert it to something perceptible and you can create your own design to add some artistic touches to your projects that make them distinct from others'.
This is my majmar
In Arabian countries it's used for frankincense (boukhoor ), but of course this can not be used :P
It consists of four parts: the main body, stem, grill and the wooden base. You work on each of them separately and then assemble them.
Well, it's my favorite
i wished if i could show you the process, but unfortunately couldn't picture every step
but i got this shot, which is before drilling the body
And these are the tongs
They're used to pick up the coals from the majmar. Well, this was my worst. I created a terrific design BUT then it turned to be hard to achieve. I drilled it to make the filing part easier but it ruined my whole project so had to change lots of stuff and here they are
The carpenters square
Well it's not a WOW project as the previous ones
I enjoyed workshop II more, because we had more freedom while working without the instructors on our heads (but of course they helped us a lot, especially with fixing the second project, so lots of thanks to them) and it's more machines work, which is more fun unlike filing which was the only outcome of workshop I. the most amazing thing with this workshop course is that it doesn't have any exams or quizzes, nothing related to studying and memorizing yupee :P and when you walk of the workshop, your work is done and nothing more to do XD.
Safety rules are the most two words heard from the instructors. You have to wear safety shoes and the lab coat before working and safety glasses before operating any machine. In spite of this, I just don't know why some students refuse to abide by the rules :$

This sounds lots of fun. I don't take such engineering workshops in my university, but I remember very well when my sister who went to SQU did all these very same shapes, lol. I would love to take such a workshop.
^ yes it is fun ! ,, well i havent taken workshop II ,, but workshopI was amazing ,, i wish i could take this course too !
Mateor's majmar structure was the BEST :P
I did a better Majmar than yours, beat me? :P
Yeah, I liked both workshop classes; they were awesome.
I made a stupid majmar, I only made small halls in the top of each side =p
I liked Workshop I better. My Workshop II class wasn't fun at all.. Maybe cuz I was the only girl in the class =S
